From the book The Ten Great Cosmic Powers:

 

" ...She crowned the Idea a king in purple robes,

Put her magic serpent sceptre in Thought's grip,

Made forms his inward vision's rhythmic shapes

And her acts the living body of his will.

A flaming thunder, a creator flash,

his victor Light rode on her deathless Force:

A centaur's mighty gallop bore the god

Life throned with mind, a double majesty. "

 

 

I was looking this over this morning and I had a couple of thoughts

about it. First I find it interesting that Life throned with Mind is

exalted here as supreme when I would think that Mind might get in the

way. Could it be that Thought only becomes helpful when it is crowned

by or directed by the Goddess?

 

The other thought I had was wondering about the centaur. I don't

recall the centaur as being a part of Hindu imagery. Am I wrong about

that?

 

namaste,
